Greyhound Literary

Alexander is actively building his list and is always on the lookout for new writers of speculative fiction, literary fiction, crime and thriller and serious non-fiction. He is particularly interested in dark thrillers and crime novels, science fiction and fantasy that push boundaries or cross genres but are rooted in believable, playful literary fiction, and novels that don't shy away from darker aspects of humanity. On the non-fiction side, he tends towards serious books with big ideas that subvert our assumptions, serious histories, and narrative non-fiction focused on contemporary events and issues.
